A still further object of the invention is to provide an attachment of this type which will not interfere with the operation of the telephone in any way, and one which may be picked by the user of the telephoneywith the telephone.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, with out departing from the spirit of the invention.

upper end of the standard 6 lying just below the mouth piece of the telephone, which is shown in Figure 1, in dotted lines.

Extending laterally from the standard 6, is an arm 7 which has a downwardly extended end portion provided with a lamp socket 8 in which an electric lamp ,9 is mounted, the lamp being so disposed that light rays will be projected from the lamp downwardly onto the dial of the telephone which is indicated in dotted lines and desig nated by the referencecharacter 10.

In the form ofthe invention as shown by Figures 2 and '3 of the drawing, the light stand includes a flat circular base 11 designed to receive the base 12 of the telephone. r

The reference character 13 designates a standard that has a laterally extended lower portion 14 secured to the base 11, adjacent to one edge thereof, the laterally extended portion 14: being curved to conform to'the shape of the upper surface of the base of the telephone so that it will closely engage the base.

The free end of the arm extends downwardly at 16 where it is supplied with a lamp to illuminate thedial of the telephone which is indicated by the reference character 17.

It will also be understood that the standard and arm arehollow, so that the usual electric wires providing the circuit to the lamp forming a part of the device, may be extended therethrough.

I claim: 1

A telephone supporting and lighting stand including a fiat base to be positioned on a supporting surface, said base being. constructed to receive a telephone receiver, an arm extending upwardly and inwardly from the edge of the base, the inwardly extended portion being curved to conform to the ourvature of the upper surface of the telephone base and fit thereagainst, a standard forming a continuation of the inwardly curved portion and adapted to rest against the. telephone receiver, a laterally extended arm at V theupper end of the standard, and curved to fit around the telephone receiver positioned on the base, the last mentioned curved arm terminating in a downwardly curved portion, and a socket on the downwardly curved portion.
